Stories that spark
a lifelong love of reading.
Writing for children is one of the most demanding crafts in publishing. Every word must earn its place. Our children's ghostwriters bring the right voice for every age group.
Every age group,
expertly served.
Picture Books
32 pages. Lyrical or playful text. Every word has to work hard — there's nowhere to hide. Our picture book writers understand page turns, read-aloud rhythm, and the art of the perfect last line.
- →Rhyming and non-rhyming text
- →Concept books (ABCs, counting, emotions)
- →Story-driven narrative picture books
Middle Grade
The most beloved category in publishing. Adventure, friendship, magic, school life — middle grade novels need fast pacing, authentic young voices, and themes that resonate without condescending.
- →Chapter books (20,000–50,000 words)
- →Early reader series
- →Educational fiction and nonfiction
Young Adult
YA readers are perceptive, passionate, and unforgiving. We write authentic teen voices navigating identity, love, family, and belonging — in genres from contemporary to dystopian fantasy.
- →Contemporary YA fiction
- →YA fantasy and science fiction
- →Series development and continuation
Educational & Inclusive
Diversity-centered picture books, SEL (social-emotional learning) titles, STEM stories for young readers, bilingual books, and books that address specific needs with sensitivity and authenticity.

Common questions
answered honestly.
What age group should my children's book target?
The age group determines everything — word count, sentence complexity, themes, and illustration style. Picture books target ages 3–8 (500–1,000 words); early readers ages 6–9 (2,000–8,000 words); middle grade ages 8–12 (20,000–50,000 words); young adult ages 13+ (50,000–80,000 words). We help you identify the right fit during discovery.
Do you provide illustration services for picture books?
Yes. We work with a roster of professional illustrators experienced in children's publishing. For picture books, we coordinate the illustrator briefing, style approval, and art direction to ensure the visual storytelling aligns perfectly with your manuscript. Illustration is scoped separately from the writing project.
How long is a typical picture book manuscript?
A picture book manuscript is typically 500–1,000 words, structured around 32 pages with clear page-turn moments that give the illustrator distinct spreads to work with. Despite the short word count, crafting a picture book that flows rhythmically and lands emotionally is one of the more demanding forms to ghostwrite well.
Will my children's book be accepted by major publishers?
Traditional publishing for children's books is highly competitive. We can prepare your manuscript to traditional submission standards if that's your goal. Alternatively, self-publishing through Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and Barnes & Noble Press puts your book in the hands of readers faster, with full royalty control and no gatekeepers.
